Hey, guys! I was sitting 'round. Thinking: Hey, what if Percy became, a metaphorical 'Lab Rat'?" So yeah...

Enjoy!

Annabeth's POV

I was absolutely terrified. From what I just saw...

I shuddered. The thought was absolutely terrifying. What they did to Percy scared me half to death.

Now, you're probably wondering what happened. This is what happened,

Percy has gone missing.

Again.

I, was sent on a quest, a short one, an easy one, to find out where Percy was, then get together with the whole Athena cabin to make a plan to get him out.

I was back at the camp, with my video-camera in my hand, and my Yankee's cap in my back pocket.

Once I got to the top of the hill, my vision got a bit fuzzy. I realized that I had began to cry a bit, then I forced myself to stay strong. THIS child Athena wasn't crying now.

I saw Thalia's pine, with Peleus curled around, looking at me, he sniffed the air and went back to his nap. The Golden Fleece glistened in the sunlight, making it difficult to look at. I looked forward and saw the kids at camp Half-Blood. There was tension in the air. I ran up and everyone looked at me. They smiled, and when they saw my grim expression, they frowned and looked worried. Then they started to whisper amongst each other.

"This can't be good-"

"-She hasn't looked that sad since-"

"-Do you think they still serve grilled cheese at Whole Foods?-"

I knocked on Chiron's door. When he opened it, he looked upset, and worried. I understood why. He had been so used to the fact that the heroes he train usually go missing or die a horrible death. Then, Percy had gone missing last year, and when we found him, finished the war after a brutal ten days, there was finally peace. Percy gave Chiron hope that heroes CAN come back alive. Then he went missing, and Chiron probably felt like the world was on his shoulders again.

"Annabeth! How was the quest?" He asked. He tail swished back and forth, and he only did that when he was nervous.

"I have it on video." I told him.

"Good. Hephaestus leant us a large flat-screen T.V., so we can watch the video straight away," he said, as he trotted past me, and ran to the Camp Fire, where a humungous T.V. was floating over the usual fire. Chiron blew the conch horn, and faster than you could say, "Braccas meas vetiminis!" The entire camp, (Ares cabin included) showed up and sat in front of the T.V.

"Children! Annabeth has returned with the video camera we gave her, and we will now see what has happened to Percy! Annabeth, please hook up the camera to the screen," he told me. I hooked it up, and turned it on.

No-one's POV

(A/N: For the rest of the chapter, Bold will be the video, and, no-one will talk cuz then it disturbs the video, and it shows how tense camp is!)

The beginning showed Annabeth outside the local police department, holding the screen to her face. She spoke,

"Hey, Camp Half-Blood. Here I am. I'm on my way to file a missing report for Percy, to see if the mortals can help find him," Annabeth said into the camera. She then walked inside, pressed the button on the camera, and a little notice in the corner that said, 'INVISIBLE MODE: ON'.

"Hello Sir," Annabeth said to the policeman at the front desk. He looked up and smiled.

"What can I do for ya, young lady?" He asked.

"I'd like to file a missing report," Annabeth replied.

"Oh dear. Who gone missing? I'll look in my files and put as much information up as I can," The policeman asked.

"Percy Jackson, age 17," The policeman's face turned grim, then he looked at her and said in such a serious tone, it changed her entire opinion of the recently cheerful policeman she saw a second ago.

"I'm sorry, young woman, but Percy Jackson isn't missing. We have him under a confidential arrest, so if you could just leave-" He began, but Annabeth cut him off.

"Sorry, what? A confidential arrest? Why? What did he do?" Annabeth asked.

"For special reasons. You know, when someone is on a confidential arrest like young Percy Jackson, it is illegal to ask questions. One more question, and I will personally escort you out of here. Do you understand?" He asked her.

"Of course. I'm not allowed to see my boyfriend, that's all. Fine. Thanks for nothing," Annabeth spat as she walked out of the building, slipped her cap on and walked strait in again.

Then, a man in a lab coat came out of a room, and looked at the policeman Annabeth had currently talked to.

"Hello, officer Carterson, we have some news. Our current experiment, Percy Jackson, is now under control, in our, ah, special room," The scientist whispered.

"The testing room?"

"Yes, Percy Jackson is such an interesting subject-" The scientist began.

"About him. Yes, a young woman about his age walked in, asking to file a missing report for Percy Jackson. Of course I said no, and that he was under confidential arrest, so she left and-" Officer Carterson began, but the scientist looked red and was turning purple.

"You-told-her-WHAT?" He whispered loudly.

"Um, Dr. Jelonean, I said that he was under a confiden-" The scared policeman began.

"I heard what you said. You're lucky that she's not suspicious! I'm going to go and begin the testings," He spat as he walked back toward he door. The camera began to go towards the door, and just before Annabeth slipped in, she saw Officer Carterson looking quite green.

Once Annabeth got in, there was a huge room, full of chemicals and test tubes and cages with rats. There were laptops, printers, iPads, Blackberry Playbooks, and every other electronic device you could imagine. There were books on shelves, a television set, and finally, after everything in the room, right on the side there was a glass wall. The glass was perfectly clear and clean, except the glass was about a foot thick. The other walls, inside the mini room, were titanium. It wasn't a box which you could move, no, it was implanted in the wall. So technically, it looked like a glass wall in the middle of all the other titanium walls. Then, you saw a man, wearing the same thing as Dr. Jelonean, standing in front of it, looking inside at the unlucky person, and when he saw his colleague, he smiled.

"Ah, Craig! My dear brother! I see that you might have noticed our little test subject is ready, eh?" The other Jelonean told Craig.

"Of course, David. Shall we begin the tests?" Craig asked his brother, David.

"Oh, definitely not. Not until we tell dear Percy Jackson our... story," David said.

"LET ME OUT!" Screamed Percy, who was in a tattered CHB shirt, and jeans. His happy, cheerful sea-green eyes were so dark, they were nearly black. His hair was messier than usual, which was saying a lot, and his deathly grey streak stood out even more in the harsh, artificial light.

"Tsk. Tsk! Mr. Jackson, why would we let you out? We need to tell you an interesting story of WHY we're keeping you here!" David told him, smiling quite harshly.

"Oh, yeah? Why don't you tell me when you-" There were a couple strong cuss words, which made them laugh even harder. The camp chuckled a bit, too.

"How naïve! Perseus, what if we were to call your family and tell them that you said such words?" Craig said in mock shock.

"Just tell me your freaking story and then tell me what you want," Percy said bitterly.

"Very well. You see, our father, Jeremy Jelonean, was a scientist like us. He created new breeds, like the bulldog, his idea! And his creation! Anyways, he found kids like you sometime in the 30's. They were very, very interesting. Three kinds. Each kind looked almost exactly the same. Features, I mean. One kind, always bossy, he used to tell us as a child, had electric blue eyes, and jet-black hair. The second, usually quite kindhearted, were quite like yourself. Sea-green eyes, tanned face, strong figure, raven hair. And the last, were quite like... hmm... Severus Snape? You know, the potions master, from Harry Potter? The one who killed Albus Dumbledore? Anyway, so yes, these children were secretive, and had dark, blackish brown eyes, usually black, and dark hair. So anyway, they were like the elements, sky, sea, and dead. He apparently, had a deep secret. He would use these children - always children, never adults. They never seem to live that long. - the children with Dyslexia, ADHD, and distinguishing figures. He created new breeds of dangerous birds, fish, and a little creature that scared the living daylights out of him. Then, one day, after the second world war, a good number of the black eyes kids dropped. The creations that scared him soon after disappeared, and then, something happened. See, no one except him knew how he created them. Then, all of a sudden, these kids died. Soon after, so did his creations. The population was wiped out. Later, his lab caught on fire, while my brother and I were at school. It killed him of course, and burned his notes - everyone of them - to ashes. So him and his secret died with him. Later, once we got a degree in science, we became scientists. We searched the world, and we found bodies. See, reports showed that the blue eyed ones, they were sometimes struck by lighting, and ALWAYS lived. Anyways, we found bodies. The green eyes ones, they were singed. Struck by lightning. And some had huge gashes on their chests. All dead. All struck by lightning or scratched by some kind of dog. The second one - God, those were hard to find! - the blue eyes ones, had the same gashes, or were under the sea, obviously drowned. The but eyed ones weren't singed by lightning like the others, though. The last one, the black eyed ones, were singed by lightning, or drowned. They had not a single gash on them. That was what scared us. It was like each kind was missing a certain kind of damage. We looked at their blood - stale. Their hair, we found some DNA. And I mean literally, some. Half of the DNA was missing. They only showed the mother's DNA, while the father's was missing. So now, Percy Jackson, we found you, our only hope to succeeding. We want to know, what can you survive? Craig, begin," David told his brother.

"Let the tests begin," said Craig.

"HEEELLLLLP! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Percy screamed. The first test had begun.
